The first of the hard cover annuals after the deprivations of the war years. This year is particularly difficult to find let alone in good condition, this copy is in VERY GOOD+ condition with only minor shelf and spine wear. Internally there is an inscription in the “belongs to” box and is not price clipped and the puzzles on pages 2 and 119 are untouched. The colours are wonderful and I would recommend this annual to the most particular of collectors.

A VERY GOOD condition for this years annual. The cover has some bumping and wear to the spine and very minor wear to the boards although there is some foxing also which seems to be a common feature particular to this year. The internals are great totally untouched other than an inscription in the “belongs to” box and this time it is price clipped. All in all a really nice copy for any collector.

A great annual so very hard to find of this year in GOOD condition with shelf wear to the corners but still nice a square, the spine is complete but starting to separate with a split across the spine half way up, an attempt at some time to fold the annual has been made resulting in some ceasing to the front and rear cover but inside what a joy with only the neatest and smallest of writing in the belongs to circle and not price clipped, on the rear pastedown small area has been rubbed, about 1cm by 3cm but all of the pages are a joy to hold crisp, stiff and clean and vibrant with colour. Even with it’s faults a welcome addition to any collection.

An absolute gem of an annual in FINE + condition due to minor shelf wear to the front and rear cover corners and the top and tail of the spine, some age spots starting to show, well it is 58 years old. Inside there is no inscription in the “belongs to box and the price has not been clipped there is a presentation inscription on the ffp in beautiful neat handwriting that reads “ September 1955. This book presented to: Pauline as 1st prize for Nature Study. 30th St. Helens Brownie Pack” how really lovely on the same page a small area of abrasion 1.5cm x2 cm. The pages are stiff, clean, sound and bursting with colour. So rare to find one of this age in such wonderful condition and a real must for any collector.

So hard to find and very rare in FINE+ condition this annual has only the most minor wear to the still square corners the full and sound with very minor bumping and wear to the bottom, the top has some wear and a split  but only 0.5 cm long but the covers are amazing, the annuals of this particular year seem to be very susceptible to foxing but NOT this one, the colours are pin sharp, clean and so bold just amazing. Inside there is a name in a childs hand “Joy White age 7” in the belongs to boxit has been price clipped with pinking scissors how nice. Every but every page is so clean, stiff, sound to the binding and just bursting with colour. This annual is 57 years old, the year of the coronation, Hilaries conquest of Everest and Bannisters first ever four minute mile, what seems a lifetime ago until you see how fresh this annual is, amazing.

What a little gem this annual is. Rated as VERY GOOD- the laminate covers have only the very minor shelf wear to the corners and spine although there is some very faint shading to the top 12.5cm around the spine and a little on the front. There no inscriptions of any kind and is not price clipped. The painting competition is untouched but there is however some minor staining to the first three and last three pages at the bottom where the pages adjoin the spine, only5cm by 2cm could be a little damp. All of the pages are bright, clean sound. An impressive copy.

All in all though still a really nice copy of a very hard to find if not rare annual.

A ture prize for any collector.
